Good Time Promised At Ball, Says Sullivan Floor Committee Prepared For Annual Senior Fete A dance floor worthy of a king— that is what “Bus” Sullivan, chair man of the floor committee of tho Senior Ball, promises to make out of the gymnasium floor in the Wom an's building. And it’s no rash promise, either, “Bus” declares. 1’laiiing, scraping, scrubbing, wax ing, varnishing, polishing, nothing will be omitted in making a glassy floor for the seniors to step on for their last dunce as a class, Febru ary 23. The tickets, according to FranFis ■McKenna, arc selling fast, and a day’s delay may mean that the bids will all be gone and many will be disappointed. They arc on sale at all the men’s houses and at the Co-op. “Menhirs will bo given first pref erence,” McKenna said, “and jun iors and sophomores next, respec tively. No freshman men will be permitted to come under any cir cumstances.” The decorations commitlee, under the guidance of Carl lleilborn, is progressing rapidly with extensive plans for a scene which will trans pose the women's gym into a hall of beauly and grandeur, they claim.

To get there you have to go past 1 the desk and down the aisle to that i corner of the old library wltorq the bound periodicals are; then yon go ’ clear down to the last row of I shelves. There isn't much room in that last aisle -everything is back-I ed up against it, and it's only wide enough to turn around in. There are all sorts of out-of-date books piled ii]> on the shelves, prin cipally bibliographies; bibliograph- j • ies of “Best Fiction” of long ago: 1 lists of books dealing with aero nautics of France, the hookworm (disease, woman suffrage, and Amer [ ican Ordovician and Silurian Fos sils. A book of famous sportsmen i of 1800, printed in seven different languages; a German book on fbc Greek and Batin classics, printed I ill 1847. And clear up on the top shelf is j a row of bound copies of Nile’s Weekly, dating from 18fl to 1847. | The older copies, printed something i like lit) years ago, are aged into deep brown and spotted with mold, j The type is a little wavering and indistinct, italics are used freely, and the spelling is peculiar. Accord ing to the title page of the volume. Nile's Weekly is published in Bal timore by the Editor, “at the Franklin Press, South Street, Next Boor to Ihe Merchant’s Coffee House.” The editor goes on to say that his publication is “packed with unparalled care . . . delivery is ab I snlutely. guaranteed, except in some ' i parts of the Mississippi Territory | and Louisiana.” The price was five dollars a year. One of the articles contains a jl reference to a letter from one of ! the Ohio Volunteers, who were j fighting Indians in their state.] “The army of invasion complains, bitterly at the exorbitant, exactions!1 of the settlers. One poor fellow, troubled in spirit, says vlt's pretty tough, I tell you—wages only seven dollars a month, whiskey from one to two dollars a gallon, and other necessaries of life in the same pro portion The news stories described bat tles with the Indians in the most lurid style, interspersed with many i ‘'braves” and “nobles.” One ex cerpt reads: "The brave rapt. Gor don, eol. Carrol, and col. Iliggens ! pursued the enemy for more than two miles . . . they fled in conster nation, leaving L’b dead. This las; defeal was decisive, and we shall no more be disturbed bv their veils.” The papers published about LS12 are full of news of the war. Each week a section was printed, called I "American Prizes,” There would follow a list of ships taken by (lie Americans during that week. Tlicv ire terse and to the point. “Pink ■stern boat, said to belong to ller I'ing’s gut (see glossary) with $20,- ‘ 100 worth of English goods, cap aim! off George’s river, by a row mat privateer.” Then follows the editor’s two cents’ worth, in Pai rs: "We fear this is smuggling.” Sandwiched in between two other irticles is the single line: “.Nothing i mportant, in Congress Thursday.” The story of a banquet in honor O' Commander Perry, after his vie-i ory on Lake Erie, lists the toasts trunk, with the name of the pro-! loser. These are two examples. ‘To Captain Jesse Elliot.second in ■ ■ommaml on Lake Erie—a brave .011 of Maryland, and an honor to ds country.” (Three cheers). Then his one: "To the fair sex next to hi' approbation of God and conn rv, their smiles.are the Hero’s rc vard.” (Niue cheers). Altogether, there were -14 toasts naively downed at that banquet,; 'esides the incidental drinking. | {nod men, these sailors! Basketball Men Prepare Selves For W. S. C. Webfools Attempt Climb Above Conference .500 Murk by Felling Cougar Coach Billy Reinhart hail his var sity basketball team drill in the fundamentals of the game last night in preparation for the contest sched uled with the Washington State Cougars, Saturday night. This game will mark the third home ap pearance of the Webfoot s since their disastrous road trip and the Oregon team is determined to keep its winning streak unmarred. If the locals can take the Cougars into camp they will reach the 500 mark with four games won and four lost. The two sophomore finds, liber lmrt and Horner, will start the Washington State game, according to Coach Reinhart. These two play ers have injected a lot of pep and speed into the Oregon lineup and, dispite the dopesters who predicted that they would only last a couple of games, they have played consis tent ball. Eborhart was tbc lead ing cog in the Webfoots victory over Oregon State last Saturday. Ilorner plays a flashy defensive game and is always in the thick of the fray. The veteran guard, Joe Bally, is fast rounding into playing shape and may start at one of tint defen sive positions against tlie Cougars. He has been hampered by illness and injuries and liis return to the game will speed up the Oregon 1 earn. Gordon Ridings and Scott .Milli gan will probably complete the team. Boil -M r( 'ormiidv has been playing good ball when on iho floor and will be ready to replace Hidings in any emergency. Coach Reinhart is not vet satis fied with the play of the Web foots. Ilis but tip cry is more speed ond closer chocking. Tie predicts that the locals have more than an even break in their remaining names, unless they no into ,-> slump. Washington cinched the cham pionship of (he northern dicishm of the coast conference by its wins over ‘Washington State, Idaho, and Montana. The Webfoots have yet to meet three conference opponents and with wins in these games, should finish well Up in the stand ings. Wait TUI You Exit Before Lighting Up PRINCETON, N.
